On behalf of Frankfurt Main Finance, Jochen Biedermann took part in a delegation visit of the state of Hessen to Tokyo and Seoul, led by Tarek Al-Wazir, Minister for Ministry of Economics, Energy, Transport and Regional Development. The high ranking Hessian delegation met political leaders, various ministries, financial service providers and FinTech companies in both countries, Japan and South Korea.

Not only Japanese and Korean banks, but also government officials of both countries were keen to learn more about the German view on “Brexit” and about the advantages of Frankfurt as a potential headquarter for the European operations of Japanese and Korean financial service providers.

Furthermore, an initial contact was established to “FinTech Japan”, the Japanese FinTech association. There is a strong mutual interest in jointly organizing FinTech matchmaking events in course of 2017. With South Korea, already a close partner to Frankfurt in FinTech and beyond, next cooperation steps were discussed, in particular in the area of Blockchain. The FinTech community in South Korea is looking forward to the visit of a German FinTech delegation mid of January 2017, which is organized by Frankfurt Main Finance.
